    Broken down on the L.I.E. for 2 hours now. Blown air chamber. If they take much longer I might have to return to my terminal as I'm going on 7 hours since I started tonight.

    Do you eat the first hour of breakdown? Or does your breakdown pay start as soon as you call dispatch?

    Yes but I'm in a area with lots of vendors and not in bumble #### like you lol. Total was 9 hours and they couldn't even fix it, just rigged it to get it back the 24 miles to my terminal

    I once broke down and they wreckered me a replacement truck from a nearby terminal. My replacement truck broke down on the way to the same terminal it came out of.
